The girls are growing more marcenary
svery year, remarked the senior member
Of Broadway jewelry firm the other day.
why, If tho young men only knew-bu,
then it's none Of our business. Here comes
another, I'll bet"
A fair creature enveloped in sealskins and
wearing the jauntiest little bonnet ever
turned out of milliner's hands walked ur
to the counter with a business like air. Div.
ing into her reticule she brought forth tiny
ie'oel case containing diamond.
"Will you tell me- sir, what it will cost to
rave this duphcateds''
The expert in diamonds looked at the
young Lady severely and inquired If she de,
sired to have the setting exactly similar.
"Oh, yes, / must have something the
exact count srpart, -" she replied, somewhat
embarrassed
Examining the stone the jeweler stated
that he could furnish similar one and set
it for $50.
well, declare, thought it would cost
At least $3.50, " exclaimed the fair creature.
Tell me, is this not pure white stone
mo, madam, it is not. 1t is of color and
has not the requisite fire. But it is q fair
stone for $50"
After the lady had departed the ieweler
sighed ap1 said that she made the tenth.
You se~, said he, nearly every young
man believes it the proper thing to present
his best girl with diamond. Many Of them
cannot afford TO pay for a gem which is Of
the be-. grade, 30 they buy a stone that is of
color, thinking that the young lady, not
being an expert, will never know the differ
ence. But bless you. some are match for
them every time. They simper and smile
and e1claini: oh, how lovely but as soon
as convenient they slip around to jewelry

What Might Have Been.

Had Paris seen Helen attempt to shoot o
COW out of the back yard, it Is safe to say
that the Trojan war would never have been
waged and Homer would have been obliged
to take the Haymarket riot for an epic.
Had Anthony seen Cleopatis chase a street
car down 4 dusty avenue of Cairo, it is safe
to state that he would have fed disen-
chanted back 10 Octavia, and the divorce
court lawyer-''decree quietly secured; no
pubIcity"-would never have made cent
from him. Had Dante seen Beatrice fire a
half brick at the vandal hen which pros
pected for seeds in her flower bed every
spring, it is again safe TO say that he would
have sent back her notes, her white mouse
pen wiper, the lava smoking set with merry
Christmas" painted across the stern, and dis
continued that rocky courtship which he sub
sequently celebrated in poem called Tho
Inferno Chicago Inter-Ocean.

CIRCULATION OF PARIS PAPERS.

Their Large Profits-AdvsrtIsing Returns.
Newspaper Announcements.
The Paris newspapers make a large profit
on their circulatiOn-when they have any
The Petit Journal sells for a sou, but the
other dailies are rated at two and three
sous apiece, and, as mentioned, their COM
position and press work, and the small
quantity Of paper their editions require are
very cheap. They are, however, under some
expenses of which American newspaper
publishers have no knowledge. In Paris,
for example, every newspaper is distributed
by its own carriers. There is no general
distributing agency and no carrier un!cr-
takes to serve more than one paper. The
carriers, too, must bear the papers to the
venders in the kiosks. All this means delay
and outlay for the publishers.
Nor are the advertising returns to be
compared with those of American or Eng
lish journals. The theatres do not adver-
tse, the railway companies do not advertise,
and the advertiser generally is a rather
shy bird, except when the newspaper is Of
ancient foundation and wide repute. On the
other hand, there are daily journals in
which every line is made to pay, and to pay
handsomely. In one of the great dailies,
following an article by the chief editor, one
often happens upon a paragraph announc-
ing, for instance, that M Brown" the
new novel, has reached its fiftieth clifton"
The writer adds: This is not at all won

markable talent of the author, NJ Robin

Is demanded for this privilege. A year or

the persons referred to could not be mis-
taken. The mother of the maiden advised
the editor that the report was groundless
and asked him to SO proclaim it This he
refused to do. Then she sent him a letter
with request that he would print it over

The terrible disaster off Dover Is not likely
to afford to timd travellers. even the some
what dubious satisfaction Of believing that
the officers and managers of steamboats,
have learned lesson that will prevent the
immediate recurrence Of such calamity.
The case OF the Scholten shows how little
dependence can be placed upon boats and
life RATS in case of sudden shipwreck.
Could they have been safely launched by a
properly disciplined crew, it is not probable
that they could have afforded safety for all
the passengers, even under the most favor
able circumstances. There are, moreover,
many other steamers no better equipped
than the Scholten. Complaint was made re-
Gently to Supervising Inspector General
Dumont of the steamboat service at Wash
iDgton that ocean steamers were not prop
erly equipped with life boats. He replied
that the federal government had no au-
thority to interfere with the equipment
OF boats leaving foreign ports. 1t could only
pay attention to those leaving ports in the
United States. Gen. Dumont did net deny
that inadequate facilities for the saving Of
life were provided by the steamers. But he
said they objected to the necessary equip
ment Of life-boats, because they required too
much room and restricted the space left for
freight and passengers. While such disre-
gard Of safety exists the traveller must feel
that his own safety depends almost entirely
upon the good luck Of the steamer. His
chances in case Of disaster are few.

An interesting. and perhaps profitable dis
cussion is going on among some Republican
newspapers in regard to the value of the
Mugwump vote. The New York Tribune
contends that the Republicans are stronger
without it, which is equivalent to saying that
a Republican ticket which Mugwumps will
vote is certain to be so repulsiye to Republi-
cans that more than enough Of them viii re-
fuse to vote it to Offset the Mugwump sup
port The Boston Journal disagrees with
the Tribune, and thinks it is not the part of
wisdom to drive off the Mugwumps OF any
body else who may be disposed to vote the
Republican ticket. These two journals are
eminently able to settle their own contro-
versies, but it may not be amiss to suggest
that If the Republicans Of New York are SO
sensitive that they cannot tolerate access
sions to their ranks when they come from
the Mugwumps they may be too sensitive to
tolerate them when they come from other
quarters.
